Folding@Home - ESUS Team

[Siesatia]

There is now an ESUS Folding@Home Team... Our ID Number is 149239

What the program does is that it simulates protein processing onto your PC or PS3 console, then sends the results back to the university. The idea is so that we can have a better understanding on how proteins fold or misfold (the latter leading to some nasty diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Mad Cow Disease and several forms of cancer), so that scientists can prevent protein mutation and develop a cure for these diseases.


What You Need

Folding can be done by a CPU (Intel or AMD), GPU (Nvidia GeForce 8 Series or higher, ATI Radeon 2000 series and higher) or by Playstation 3.

For PC users:
You can download clients for the PC http://fah-web.stanford.edu.

For PS3 users:
The Folding client is built into the Playstation 3. Simply download the client, join our team and you are good to go!

NOTE: Folding on Nvidia cards requires the latest drivers (177.79 onwards) available from the Nvidia website
